boxers　and　no　shirt。　Jenny　paused　at　the　doorway。　Of　course　she　didn’t　mind　seeing　his　abs；　which　looked　as　taut　and　tan　in　December　as　they　did　in　July；　but　he　wasn’t　exactly　dressed　for　dinner。

“Are　you　going　to　get　ready　soon？”　She　tugged　at　the　frayed　hem　on　the　cute　flapper…style　dress　she’d　bought　senior　year　at　What　Goes　Around　es　Around；　the　vintage　store　in　Rhinecliff。

Nate　shrugged。　“I　thought　we’d　just　stay　here　and　order　in；”　he　said　easily。　One　of　the　things　he　loved　most　about　Jenny　was　how　easy　she　was　to　be　around。　Back　when　he’d　dated　Blair；　he’d　sometimes　felt　like　a　cruise　ship　director；　always　having　to　e　up　with　an　activity　to　entertain　her。　But　Jenny　was　fine　lying　around　in　bed　and　eating　Chinese　food。

Jenny　pulled　away。　She　didn’t　want　to　just　eat　takeout　in　bed；　like　they　did　every　night　in　Providence。　She　wanted　romance　and　intrigue　and　maybe　a　little　bit　of　drama。　She　wanted　to　yell　over　music　until　her　voice　hurt。

“I　think…”　Jenny　trailed　off　and　looked　down　at　her　tiny　hands。

“What’s　wrong；　Meow？”　Nate　asked；　his　hand　at　the　midthigh　hem　of　her　dress。
